J'aimerais connaître l'avis de ceux qui ont déjà voyagé en Thailande, ou de locaux, sur la faisabilité de mon voyage, compte tenu des transferts villes - villes, et du timing... sachant que je veux un sejour equilibré
Est ce que je reste trop de jours dans certains endroits? Passez dand d'autres?
Merci d'avance!

Bonjour,
apparemment nous allons peut-être prendre le même vol, car je pars aussi le 10 août pour 3 semaines en Thailande.
Mon parcours ressemble à peu près au tien, à la différence que je reste à bkk en arrivant (mais seulement 2 jours).
Une petite question : comment vas-tu de chiang mai à sukhothai???? as-tu trouvé des horaires de train???
Perso, je vais également faire un trek mais dans le nord vers Chiang Rai.
il parrait que c'est superbe!
Si tu as des infos sur les trains, je veux bien!!
Merci.
MLR
De Chiang Mai à Sukhothai, on pensait au bus.
Durée 5.30 - ils partent entre 7h et 14h.
Pour le train, je n'ai pas l'info et je suis également interressé, si qqun l'a.

D'autres commentaires sur le trajet et le timing?
Si tu veux prendre le train il faut retourner ou aller à Phitsanulok car il n'y a pas de gare à Sukhotaï.
je trouve que ton programme à l'air bien. la seule chose que j'aurais peut-être changé c'est que j'aurais fini par la plage et non par bangkok histoire de vraiement se reposer avant ton retour. mais tu as peut-être choisi de mettre bangkok en dernier pour des raisons pratiques (être proche de l'aéroport pour ton départ).
perso pour mon voyage c'est à quasiement le même style les premiers jours visites de la thailande du nord, ensuite bangkok et enfin la plage.
en tout cas bonne vacances et reviens des souvenirs pleins la tête😛
Bonjour, tu as bien eu raison de déterrer ce message presque 1 an après, dans la mesure ou je recois les mails de notification!
Nous avons fait Sukhotai - Mae Sot en minibus, puis Mae Sot - Chiang mai (2 bus par jour il me semble).
Sukhotai - Mae sot s est fait en minibus de 8 places a peu pres je crois, tres serrés à l ancienne, le chauffeur roulant tres vite sur des routes pas top, mais tout s est bien passé.
De souvenir, il y en a un toutes les 1h30 / 2h et la durée est de 3h environ.
Nous partons en fin de semaine et nous voulons faire un trek de3 jours 2 nuits à Um phang comme toi.
Je pense que tu as du passer par UMPHANG HILL RESORT, qu'en as tu pensé, sont ils sérieux, les paysages sont ils sympas....., si non par qui as tu fait ton trek.
c est exactement ce que nous avons fait. Nous etions un groupe de 6 amis
Un treck de deux nuits avec u.h.r. (reservé qqes semaines avant).
C est sincerement un de mes meilleurs souvenirs de thailande. Pour résumer rapidement notre programme.
On a passé un coup de fil a u.h.r. le matin meme du treck vers 8h du matin, et notre guide est venu nous chercher à notre hotel. Depart à l'arriere d'un pickup vers UM PHANG. paysages splendides sur la route. Arrivée la bas vers midi pour un dej local. Puis Embarquement dans des embarcations type zodiac pour une descente plutot farniente (1 rapide ou 2) d'une riviere (paysages a couper le souffle, pause dans une source d eau chaude...) jusqu'au point de départ d'une marche dans la jungle qui vous ammenera au premier camp (nuits sous la tente. Lendemain matinée aux chutes (non loin du camp), tres impressionant, puis marche toute la journée jusqu au village karen. Nuit la bas. Nous on avait fait un foot contre les karens, c etait assez genial (6 contre tout le village). lendemain retour a umphang a dos d elephant.
Bref trois jours de paysages magnifiques et surtout une impression d authentique (nous n avons pas croisé d autres touristes). J ai eu des retours d'expérience de trecks à Chiang Mai, ca n a pas l air d etre la meme.....
Notre guide s appellait MOSES, tres tres sympa et drole.
Ils sont serieux et experimentés. De plus Tu verras, Mae Sot n est pas tres grand. Fonce les yeux fermés!
C'est un plaisir, ca me replonge dedans de me rappeller de tout ca. Je vous envie!
Dans les iles nous avons été a Koh Pha Ngan, et nous avons logé dans le nord de l ile: http://www.greenpapayaresort.com/fr/restaurant.html
Ce n est pas ce qui a de moins cher mais c est loin de l agitation de hat rin et c est un vrai paradis.
Nous sommes allés pour une journée entiere (depart tot par navette - 3/4h de trajet je crois) a koh tao, pour faire du snorkeling (nous avons pris un bateau taxi pourla journée, à 4 personnes - ils demarchent des la sortie de la navette - a negocier biensur). Splendide.
Nous sommes également passé à Koh Samui, mais ca a ete une grande deception apres nos jours à Koh Pha Ngan: beaucoup plus touristique, plus cher, plus betonné, moins sympa, etc etc... Apres tout depend ce que vous recherchez, on y a fait du jet ski c est le seul point positifque je retiens.
Sinon Chiang Mai, nous sommes allé voir de la boxe thaillandaise, à parier avec les locaux, sommes sortis, visites, massages etc... Il y a une chose que je vous conseille vivement:
Louer des petites motos (honda dream - aucun de nous n en avait fait avant, facile a maitriser) et faire en uen journée la fameuse boucle samoeng!!!
http://www.gt-rider.com/touring-loops-day-rides.htm
vous n avez pas besoin de guide, et je vous recommande vivement de prendre des petits chemins et de vous balader un peu à l'aventure... On s est retrouvé dans des hauteurs avec des paysans qui nous regardaient (avec le sourire) comme des martiens.
Sukhotai nous sommes arrivé à 6h du matin (de bangkok departa minuit), nous avons visité toutes la journée et partis le soir (derniere navette) jusqu'a mae sot.
Bangkok, des milliers de choses a faire, ca je vous laisse organiser votre emploi du tps... nous avons logé au davis hotel. Tres bien et propre. http://www.davisbangkok.net/
ca donne vraiment envie lorsque je lis tes messages.
Oui j'ai une question un peu pratique. pendant le trek peux tu me dire si la nuit vous avez eu froid car je suis très frileuse. Par contre, le tarif qui nous est annoncé est 5500 Bth soit 120 € par personne pour les 3 jours de trek est ce le prix????
Merci pour l'info de la moto à chang mai. Nous comptons faire le doi suthep et le parc national de doi pui en moto sur un jour 2ème jour et le premier : temples à chang mai + massages détente.
As tu une adresse de guest house à chang Mai par hasard et as tu vu la boxe thai.
Nous pour le sud ont a choisi ko lipe et ko tarutao.
Encore une fois merci pour tes infos c'est très sympa.
nous y etions au mois d aout, il a un peu plu, mais il ne faisait pas froid non. ils fournissent tentes et duvets. J avais bcp communiqué avec lui par mail, demande lui si tu as un doute, il repond sous 24h, Son email: maxonetour@hotmail.com
Pour les guest houses, je ne pourrai malheureusement pas te renseigner...
Oui la boxe thai, nous y sommes allé, avons parier avec les locaux (bon ils connaissent.... alors y a peu de chance de gagner mais bon!!!! 100 baths le pari - y avait un match avec un suedois sur qui on a parié et on a gagné quand meme!!!). Tu trouvers facilement, le lieu est indiqué dans le lonely, sinon demande a ta guest house et renseigne toi sur le planning (ca n est pas tousles soirs), tu trouveras.
Désolée de ne pas t'avoir répondu avant mais on revient tout juste de thailande ou nous avons passé 3 semaines inoubliables.
Je voulais te remercier pour tous tes conseils et les infos précieuses que tu as pu nous donner, nous avons fait le trecks avec Max one tour et c'était génial.
On a adoré le nord pour les paysages, le contact avec la population, la nourriture...... après le sud était sympa mais ce sont des plages, pas forcement la thailande.
Enfin 3 semaines de rêves mais il faut revenir à la réalité.
Après bien des heures à fouiner sur le net j'arrive presque au bout! Je souhaiterais avoir votre avis sur mon parcours, sachant que le but et de remonter…
Apres avoir ecumer le site VF j'aurai voulu avoir vos avis sur mon parcours: vol paris-bangkok-chiang mai: arrivée a chiang mai vendredi 19 juillet à 9h00…
Voila trip de 17 jours en THAILANDE... Que pensez vous de mon parcours est ce que j ai le temps ou pas... BKK - KOh tao (3j) - Koh phangan (3j)- Koh Samui (pt…
Nous sommes deux soeurs et nous partons bientot pour 10 jours fin février/debut mars. Nous voulons faire du snorkelling, faire des petites balades et découvrir…
Nous retournons en Thaïlande en Janvier et Février 2012. Cette fois nous voulons visité le nord de la Thaïlande. Nous arrivons dans un premier temps sur Phuket…
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,
First trip to Vietnam.
We’ll be arriving in Ho Chi Minh City during Tet.
Is it complicated to find accommodation and get around during this period?
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks for your replies.
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip?
I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before:
- Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees.
Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands.
Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way).
Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan.
Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide).
Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre.
Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island.
Day 10 – Head to Semporna.
Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai.
Day 15 – Bohey Dulang.
Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous.
I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing.
I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture.
But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary.
If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!
Laurence from Bayonne
I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai?
Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai.
My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok:
No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna:
From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄).
Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM.
Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau:
Found this via AI—is it legit?
No online booking, as far as I can tell.
Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly????
And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi everyone. As I’m planning my trip for next winter, I’m looking for hotel suggestions in Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Bohol, and Siquijor. The ones I had in mind seem to be fully booked (unless it’s too early?). For those familiar with the area, is it easy to find accommodations on the spot in January/February? I’m specifically looking for hotels with a pool, beachfront, air conditioning, and easy scooter rental nearby. Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning
March 24: Phnom Penh
March 25: Phnom Penh
March 26: Depart for Kampot
March 27: Kampot
March 28: Depart for Battambang

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
My partner and I are planning a trip to Indonesia in September-October 2026. It’ll be our first time in Asia, and we’re thinking of hitting the classic spots in East Java and Bali, then wrapping up with a cruise around Komodo for some snorkeling/diving. Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary—I’m wondering if it’s doable.

22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen

08/10: Flight to Denpasar (if not taken the day before), afternoon in Jimbaran, overnight near Denpasar
09/10: 10:00 AM flight Denpasar - SIN, overnight in Singapore
10/10: Flight SIN-YQB
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing
July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao
August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide
August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena
August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands
August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts)
August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk
August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar
August 17: Rammang Rammang
August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
